My Compact had that for its first year, then the recall came out to check the injectors and oil lines, and the guy in the shop when I took it in asked who I was letting change it... He showed me what he replaced, it shoulda cost me 85.00 to replace but he comped it under warranty as 'faulty' - i love the dealership that takes care of my car :-P

My compact has mobil now & a fram filter

Ive heard good things about Royal Purple , but no personal experience yet on it... so we shall see though!! I know I will not be taking her to walmart tho...

I have been considering a switch to RP from M1. Just have not pulled the trigger.

As for filter I stick with Chrysler. But then again my toys get 1K on a oil change, actually less on the Viper.

When I had a M1 filter on the SRT Ram I would get a whine at startup. Many SRT owners got this whine. Someone finnally determined it was due to the filter. I questioned it, but when I changed the whine was gone! Sorry, but a whine can not be good.

I don't know Lance, I used to go with this chick, she'd whine like a *********.
